The Pilatus PC-12 Turboprop

Legendary Luxury and Reliability

The ever-expanding PlaneSense® aircraft fleet all began with the success of the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop aircraft. As the very first aircraft of choice for the fractional program, the PC-12 has been an integral part of the fleet for over 20 years, giving PlaneSense® pilots more experience operating them than any other fractional aircraft manager or charter operator in the world.

The PlaneSense® fractional ownership program is the most versatile private aviation solution in the industry, and the selection of aircraft that comprises the fleet reflects that, starting with the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop aircraft. Reliable, comfortable, and accessible, the PC-12 program and aircraft set the bar high.

About

The PC-12 strikes the perfect balance between comfort and convenience, making it an ideal fit for the versatile fractional ownership program. With its exceptional landing capabilities, fuel-efficient technology, and a large, in-cabin luggage compartment, the PC-12 and skilled PlaneSense® pilots will safely and quickly get you and all of your luggage (bicycles, fishing gear, golf clubs—you name it) as close as possible to your final destination.

Spacious Cabin

The Pilatus PC-12 aircraft was built with passengers in mind – purposefully designed for comfort, with six spacious seats in an executive style configuration. At 330 cubic feet, the PC-12’s interior cabin is roomier than similarly sized jets, including the Hawker® 400XP, the LearJet® 45, and the Cessna Citation CJ3®.

Six large full function seats that swivel and recline

Gentle Landings

Many who have flown in a Pilatus PC-12 are impressed by the smooth landing. These gentle landings are attributed to the skill of PlaneSense’s highly trained pilots, but they are also made possible by the aircraft’s retractable trailing-link landing gear, which combines a massive swinging arm with an oleo strut to absorb shock. This gear is the reason PC-12 aircraft can land on all types of unimproved runways with such ease — including grass, dirt, and crushed coral.

Destinations

The PC-12’s impressive short field performance allows it to access thousands of airports not available to commercial aviation or most business-class jets. Passengers can fly the PC-12 across the U.S, Canada, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, including short runways on private islands and remote ski destinations. The aircraft is also at home at the world’s busiest hubs and executive airports.
